About this book

Open Access

How do we encounter characters in films and comics? While audiences might　relate to characters intuitively,　film and comics scholars　cannot analyze them in the same intuitive way.　Theories and analytical methods influenced by narratology and cognitive theory often conceptualize characters as finished subjects presented in a medial disguise. This study　argues instead that　film-watching and comic-reading　are　dynamic situations permeated by subjectivity. Conceptualized as　film-　or　comic-behavior, these subjectivized dynamics form the basis for the emergence of characters for viewers and readers. The study develops a phenomenological theory and method that allows　us　to analyze encounters with characters through descriptions of　film-　and　comic-behaviors. Drawing on Maurice Merleau-Ponty's philosophy of perception, it discusses current　phenomenological positions　in film studies　and articulates an extensive phenomenological　framework　for comic research.　The works of Chris Ware, Riad Sattouf, and Marc Forster, which　it discusses,　are not only the subject of analytical case studies but also an integral part of this study's theoretical framework.
